Friday Night Sew-in Results

I started out with a lot of energy last night for the Friday Night Sew-In.  When I pressed the fabric I was going to use I continued pressing quite a few more pieces so it would be ready for upcoming projects.  I just bought a new iron a couple of weeks ago and it made the work of ironing all the fabrics so much easier.  I did manage to get gunk on it yesterday from a fabric panel that had some sort of sticky print on the salvage and was really irritated about that.  But here is a tip for you.  I got up this morning and remembered I bought an off brand of those magic sponges that take marks of the walls ect.  So I just wet the end a little bit and rubbed the bottom of my cold iron and wallah, no more gunk and a happy dance.

Back to the Sew-In.  I ran out of steam around 10:30 P.M.  I managed to get the pieces cut out for the bag and the fusible fleece attached.  I also marked the pleats and the darts for the outside and the lining.  That is all though because I decided I was too tired to sew and I did not want to make any mistakes which I have the tendency to do when I get tired.  Here is where I left off.

We have our granddaughters birthday party this afternoon and I helped to make cupcakes for it this morning so I am not going to have anything more to show you today.  I should be able to finish the bag tomorrow afternoon so hopefully I can post the finish tomorrow night or Monday.  Enjoy your weekend!  Blessings!
